Kiss in Rio is a sweet, smoky blend of fragrant woods and warm spices and has a strangely old-fashioned charm. It reminds me ever so slightly of the Portrait of a Lady fragrance by Frederick Malle, which also has a sort of timeless, comforting vibe to it. The description of Kiss in Rio on the website suggests that it's an edgy, modern smell, but in fact to my nose it's the exact opposite.

I love the presentation. Everything about it speaks of care and craftsmanship. The candle is beeswax and is hand-poured. It has a double wick and comes in a large, rounded glass with a thick base and delicate tapered edges. Also, the box artwork is delightful.

Jonathan Ward candles are honestly the best I have ever come across - lights for hours, smells amazing. You should have a look on his website www.jonathanwardlondon.com cause you can buy directly from there!
